Abstract
We examine the role that 10 different industries can play in the circular economy and how they can realize significant value through large-scale adoption of circular principles. These are: metals and mining; oil and gas; chemicals; electricity; machinery and industrial equipment; information and communications technology (ICT); personal mobility; household; fashion and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). We also look at e-commerce’s cross-cutting industry role. Companies in every industry can generate circular value in three ways: value addition through cost reduction, revenue migration, and value addition through revenue generation. Although circular value opportunities are spread unevenly across the different industries, all present powerful ways to unlock true circularity at scale.
